this is for the old timer's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I start year number 28 out here next week. How much longer before I reach the coveted "old timer" status ?

 

Does a Mack count ?

2 sticks and a 350 I think it was under the hood in a R model..

 

I got 21 years and started with an R model with a whopping 180 hp and a duplex. I thought I was big #### too!

 

I was going to say that the Mack you drove 21 years ago must have had a few miles on it. But I did a little research, the R model was retired at the end of 2003. It might have been a shinny new truck with a gold bulldog on the hood.

 

Guess that makes me a old timer too

 

2 sticks and an A40 when I started. Moved up to a B61 and thought I was King of the Road!

 

I started in 88 my grandfather taught me.
He’s still part time trucking at the age 87
Spry as hell too.
He said he want to make it until 88 years old and that would give him 70 years trucking
The history he has seen is astounding

 

First 18 months in B76...then Grampa puts me in an Emeryville...I begged for that B back!!

 

Never drove a B61 I'd sure like to though.

 

No it was a 66 or 67 model. Old line haul truck converted to a dump truck.
